BUS TRIP: 9/11 Museum and Freedom Tower - Mon. Sept. 25th

We will take a guided tour of the National September 11 & Memorial Museum. Afterwards, there will be time on your own to enjoy lunch at Hudson Eats at Brookfield Place, an upscale dining terrace overlooking the Hudson River with 14 chef-driven eateries. Then we will meet for a visit to the Freedom Tower, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, where we will take in spectacular views of New York City and beyond. Please be aware that this trip will involve a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes.

Tickets are $124 and include luxury motor coach transportation, admission to both venues, tour, escort and gratuity. South Huntington cardholders may sign up beginning June 10; others June 17 (CLICK HERE) . No refunds unless we can fill your seat from the waiting list.
